Director Don Michael Paul is said to be headed to South Africa to work on the reboot of the monster movie after finishing work on war film Company Of Heroes: The Fourth Reich, reported The Tracking Board.

The news comes a decade since the release of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins in 2004.

The original movie, released in 1990, spawned three direct-to-video sequels: Tremors 2: Aftershocks, Tremors 3: Back To Perfection, and Tremors 4: The Legend Begins.

It also led to a 13-episode TV programme, Tremors: The Series, which was based on the film series and aired from March through July 2003.

Californian filmmaker Don, who previously directed Lake Placid: The Final Chapter, has also worked on Sniper: Legacy and Jarhead 2: Field Of Fire.
